Jobs Strategy & Direction
While the latest jobs report for Ohio leaves a lot to be desired, the strategic direction of our economy hasn’t changed. Ohio suffered the second worst job loss in the nation – behind only Tennessee – drawing a stark contrast from prior months.
Though it certainly represents some turbulence, our trajectory remains sound. As Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols put it:
“We’ve got to keep pushing forward with the jobs-friendly policies that we know are working – fiscal responsibility, tax cuts, streamlined regulations, and better workforce training – so that more Ohioans can share in the benefit of Ohio’s continued economic recovery.”
It’s far too soon, and too brief a snapshot at one iffy month, to pass judgement on Kasich’s strategy and direction. The economy is an aircraft carrier, not a gun boat. It takes more than a moment to turn around.
